Why?
(I assume he cannot speak Finnish fluently when he cannot translate his CV himself.)

At any company where he has any chance of getting a job without speaking Finnish, the people reading CVs are able to read English CVs.
And sending a CV in a language the person described in the CV does not actually speak fluently is just awkward - in the worst case someone assumes after reading the CV that he speaks Finnish, and he will end up in a job interview where everyone else speaks only Finnish...

Dunno, most of the shop people don't necessarily. Learning the parts names is easy though, only my mate was convinced brake calipers were called perkele and left handed vent screw was vitunmutteri... but that just fixing rusted out cars...
